  "style": "dark liminal anime illustration with lo-fi cyber melancholia, surreal nocturnal beach scene, minimalist atmospheric digital painting, distressed VHS aesthetic, low-detail anime rendering with painterly softness, experimental Japanese internet art style",
  "composition": "vertical centered composition with full-body character standing alone on shoreline, subject positioned slightly below center frame, static front-facing pose with lowered head, horizon line crossing upper-middle background, crescent moon centered directly above character head, glowing rectangular overlay obscuring upper torso area, symmetrical spacing with heavy negative darkness surrounding subject",
  "subject": "{character_description} with long {hair_color} hanging loosely and partially wind-swept, eyes hidden by downward head tilt and hair shadow, emotionless melancholic posture, {outfit} reaching lower legs, bare pale feet standing on wet sand, thin fragile body proportions, arms hanging straight downward, subtle translucent rendering with faint glow embedded in hair and body silhouette",
  "background": "dark nighttime ocean shoreline with calm black-blue sea extending across width of frame, faint wave foam illuminated near shore, dim horizon line separating sea and sky, deep navy-black sky with isolated glowing crescent moon above subject, sparse glitch particles and scattered luminous dots floating across scene, geometric HUD-like white line overlays in bottom right corner and around subject area",
  "lighting": "extremely low-key nocturnal lighting with soft cold moon illumination, diffuse blue-white glow reflecting on sand and waves, subtle bloom around moon and overlay rectangle, minimal contrast separation in dark regions, gentle ambient luminance, muted highlights with soft edge diffusion, faint CRT-like brightness bleed",
  "color_palette": "restricted monochromatic palette dominated by black, deep navy, muted indigo, cold cyan, pale blue-white, faded gray, and dim turquoise accents, heavily desaturated with only subtle luminous highlights",
  "textures": "heavy VHS grain, distressed digital compression artifacts, CRT scanline softness, analog noise buildup in shadows, subtle chromatic aberration around glowing edges, rough painterly blending, low-resolution anime linework, atmospheric haze, faint pixel breakup, distressed texture layering, noisy gradients, edge blur and imperfect rendering fidelity",
  "effects": "large glowing white rectangular glitch overlay centered across chest and face area containing faded duplicate portrait imagery, scattered digital particles and floating light specks throughout scene, vertical HUD marker lines flanking character, subtle digital distortion bands, moon glow bloom, low-opacity glitch fragmentation around lower body, faint screen tearing artifacts, CRT-style luminance bleed, geometric interface overlays in lower-right corner",
  "mood": "isolated, melancholic, drea"}
